Japan Textile Tour 2018

Experience and Discover Japanese Textiles, Culture, and More!

If your schedule is still open this spring, get an air ticket and travel and learn with us! Various Japanese textile artists in my network support this tour. It is a flexible tour for 2 weeks during which you can hop-in or hop-off our journey through West Japan. You pay the actual cost of the activities, transportations, meals, accommodations with no markup, and a small affordable coordination fee is extra.

March 24 - April 4, 2018 (You can extend the day before and after the tour. I help for you to arrange the schedule.)
